COL GLIDER Turns BACK A GOOD WHILE BEFORE
REACHING THE NORTH POLE.
A Chicago Times special from Winnipeg, Man.,
says: Col Glider arrived to-day at Selkirk, a
small town twenty-five miles east OF here, and
was intervied over the telephone. He gave the
following account OF himself: After leaving Win
nipeg last fall he had very unpleasant voyage to
York Factory, which occupied two months, as he
was unable to get dogs all the way, and had to
travel in canoe, getting Indians 10 bring his
outfit and supplies along. He reached Fort Chllr-
chill too late 10 catch the Hudson Bay boat to
Nottingham island, and a he would have To stay
several months about Churchill without OcCJ-
patton he decided 10 return 10 New York 10
transact some business, after which, he says,
he viii leave in time To catch the next
Hudson Bay boat, several months hence, or
else catch a whaling vessel bound for the
Northern seas next summer, and go IN
through HudSonS Strait. He left his companion
Griffith at Fort Churchill, with instruction 10 take
the stores and proceed 10 Nottingham Island by
the first HudSOn's Bay boat. Glider promised 10
join him there II he did not join him at
Churchill by taking q steamer from Wlnni-
peg up The same route that adopted last
fall When asked II he had abandoned his project
OF reaching the pole, he replied indignantly that
he had not, and that he was not the kind OF q man
TO abandon such a scheme. He came all the way
down from Churchill by dog train, having a pretty
rough time OF IL. He says that both himself and
Grifiith are In good health, and expresses the
opinion that HudSOn'5 straits are nay1gable for
powerful vessels all the year around. He eX-
poets To leave for New York shortly.

The Congregational Sunday
School & Publication Society
began with this year the publica-
ton of four-page weekly for
youngest readers in the primary
department of our Sunday schools,
the name of "The Mayfower''
being given it as appropriate to
the pilgrim" Series of publication
for Sunday schools, of which it
was to form part. The Society
has recently learned that news
paper bearing the same name had
for some years been published at
Yarmouthport, Mass, by George
Otis. This has led to a friendly
correspondence, and Mr.. Otis,
with evident sympathy in the
work of the Society, cordially
acquiesces in the use which is
made OF the title, "The Mayfower,' D
in connection with the juvenile
publication above referred to.
Acknowledgements are due to Mr..
Otis for his great courtesy in this
matter, and it should be clearly
understood that his right to the
title. The Mayfower," as
applied to a newspaper, is in no way
affected by this use which is made
of it, with his knowledge and con-
sent, by the Congregational S. S.
e. Pub. Society. Mr.. Otis's "May-
flower" is an attractive weekly
paper( secular of eight pages, and
is intended for the family. 1t has
large variety of reading matter
adapted to old and young, is care
fully edited, and its price, 81 per
year, places it within the reach of
many readers who cannot afford the
higher-priced papers [Congre-
gationalist, May 26th, 1887.
We understand correspondence
is being had with Oliver Optic,
James Otis, Horatio Alger, Jr.,
and other eminent writer's for the
young, in order to secure their
interesting contributions for the
Mavfiower. The Mayfower will
be sent on trial for two months for
ten cents. Try it.
